What: We will paddle about 3 miles on the Monongahela River upstream to Old Lock 7, pausing to look at various river access opportunities in Greensboro, then we head across the river to view the Friendship Hill National Historic Site’s river front, then go downstream on the Mon, to paddle up Georges Creek in New Geneva, then back to our starting point.

Greensboro
has been involved in a number of Art and Community centric activities
since the early 70's. In 1994, The Nathanael Greene Historical
Foundation (NGHF) was recognized as a formal 501 (c)3 chartered with
the support and preservation of cultural activities and history in the
area. In 2005, NGHF refined its scope to develop a well received
annual conference and arts festival called the "Creative Communities
Conference" and the "Art Blast on the Mon".
Now in 2008, the
Creative Communities has been expanded to a series of Monthly Seminars
known as "Second Saturdays" designed to discuss emerging activities
and developments in sustainable communities, arts education, networks,
co-op marketing and a number of growing areas valuable to rural
communities seeking to attract artists, services, and individuals to
their community.
